2011 Volkswagen TIGUAN Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1400702
Internal NHTSA #	11015637
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	TIGUAN
Model Year	2011
File date	01/08/17
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Defective fuse link in wiring harness melted together rather than separating causing very high voltage damaging the cpu and ignition coils causing piston misfiring and possibility of engine fire. I have retained the defective part. Mechanic reports both fuse links connecting to two coils are melted and 30,000 volt power bridged these links to damage the other electrical components. Repair was over $2700. Fire was avoided by taking vehicle out of service but severely melted links and high voltage feeding back into electrical system caused very high potential of electrical fire in vicinity of fuel sources. Vw notice to mechanics about problem has been issued but no recall.
